"Hey how long ago was that mural initially painted?"
"That? Oh Ekko started it years ago before the community got this big"
"So the people Ekko painted there are all dead people that he cared about right"
"I mean i'd hope so, no way he'd be painting people that are alive"
"Yeah, right... So who is that blue haired girl?"
"No idea, why are you getting so curious all of a sudden"
"Nothing.....just that.... doesn't Jinx have a tooth gap?"
"Why have you been staring at her teeth? Don't tell you too-"
"HELL NO. I mean she's prett- NO, Im just thinking, you know... her and Ekko clearly know each other much more personally than he's let on"
"Soooo? Get to the fucking point man im getting old here"
"Hear me out, blue hair, blue eyes, tooth gap, adopted daughter of Silco's, when did he paint that mural?"
"Oh...oh.... HOLD THE FUCK O-"
The possibilities are infinite i love the firelight community
A flash of what looks like Jinx’s face during the scene when Ekko is trying to escape Viktor’s drones
He was thinking of her to give himself strength 😭
I lean toward him, close enough for a kiss. His eyes widen. The look in his face is some commingling of panic and desire. It is a heady feeling, having power over someone. Over 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘢𝘯, who I never thought had any feelings at all.
“You really do want me,” I say, close enough to feel the warmth of his breath as it hitches. “And you 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦 it.” I change the angle of the knife, turning it so it’s against his neck. He doesn’t look nearly as alarmed by that as I might expect.
Not nearly as alarmed as when I bring my mouth to his.

Guys this took me so long but it was so worth itttt 🥲
P.s. Cardan smiles when he is nervous 🤭
I think that Jinx and Isha's relationship will parallel three separate dynamics:
1) Sibling dynamic - Vi and Jinx. Obvious parallel with Jinx being an older sister this time around. Perhaps it will make Jinx reminisce about her childhood and make her understand how much Vi actually loved her.
2) Parent/child dynamic - Where do I start? Jinx and her mom, Jinx and Vander, Jinx and Silco, Jinx and... Vi (yes, if you didn't notice, Vi was also a motherly figure for Powder after their mother's death). It will possibly make Jinx not just take responsibility but finally realise why parents protect their children at all cost and are ready to give up anything, including their own life.
3) Old/young self dynamic - Jinx and Powder - basically Jinx accepting and loving her younger self through Isha. It is the most important lesson she may learn, actually!
Just got reminded of that after the bridge scene Ekko GOES BACK to check her pulse, and caress her face and JUST STARES AT HER?? I’m sobbing at 7AM in the morning and I have school in an hour wtf man
Apparently Jinx didn’t like fighting Ekko on that fucking bridge and I think that’s very accurate, but like holy SHIT Idk the pure fact that Ekko dodged the explosion, watched Jinx sit there as she was blown up because she simply didn’t want to try anymore and Ekko goes back to check her pulse? He goes back to caress her face and see if she’s still alive?? He’s actively thinking that’s the last time he’ll see her! His big sad soft eyes mixed with regret and worry as he sees the girl he love(s/d) battered and bruised because they were forced to fight.
Athena: Odysseus is just a really good guy. He's so smart and brave and funny and--
Ares (sighing loudly): I get it!
Athena: If you got to know him, you'd like him too.
Ares: You've been talking about him for FIVE HOURS! At this point, I do know him!
Athena (crossing her arms): You'll see what I mean one day.
(After "one day")
Ares (beside Athena's infirmary bed): Oh my gosh, Athena! You should have been there! He started stabbing Poseidon like (acts it out) and Poseidon was all like "Stop! Ah!" and Odysseus was all like "You never stopped!"
Athena (smirking): Told you that you'd like him.
Ares (gently smooshing her with a pillow): You didn't say he was violent. You should've led with that.
I'll be living my boring life then randomly get giddy bc I remember timebomb is canon!!! 🗣️🫀
I swear if ekko dies in s2 I'm gonna lose all my good morals.
To be clear, Jinx didn’t magically go from being schizophrenic and severely mentally unstable to “just a little quirky and chaotic” from season 1 to season 2. She’s just not living with and dependent on someone who is actively trying to make her mental health worse for his personal gain anymore.
Also, adopting a kid and receiving unconditional love again for the first time in almost 10 years probably helped a lot. As did reconnecting with her sister whom she was manipulated into believing was the cause of her problems and pain.
I don't know what writers thinking when they made Danny end up with Sam.
Seriously, this girl is so toxic that i could write an essay. Except that, she didn't have chemistry with Danny! Not even as friends!
Danny and Valerie, on the other hand, made so much sense. First of all, they actually had chemistry. They were the classic trope enemies to lovers. They had similar lives. They understood each other. And even when they were fighting, they acted like an old married couple. Valerie loved him for him and not the superhero he was like Sam who dumped him when he decided to be normal again.
Writers should show the reaction of Valerie when she learned the truth and they should made them endgame.
Valerie was way better as character. She had a backstory, we saw her difficult life and how she is trying to help her father. She is the villain Danny made and i love that.
Sam "i am different from the other girls" Manson is just being annoying.
Change my mind.
arcane s2 spoilers ‼️
i like to think jinx would want to be the sister she never had
anyways here’s my version of the aftermath of the big fight
The way their first kiss must've been so funny because Jinx has 0 experience in that department
